Replying to: chirocat (Jun 15, 2008 8:30 pm) I have an 08 auto. Drove about 110 miles and was able to keep the rpm around 2000 with the exception of coming out of a toll booth etc. Averaged 33. That's the key, but it's painful when you know you have this great engine.

Those of you not hand-calculating your mileage and relying on your vehicle's computer have no real idea of what mileage you are getting. Your on-board computer is not a reliable instrument in measuring mileage and shouldn't be counted upon to give an accurate reading.

Replying to: drmike (Jul 20, 2008 4:01 pm) I checked my calculated mileage against the car's computer a couple of times and was surprised that they were both the same.

Replying to: drmike (Jul 20, 2008 4:01 pm) Have run 1 and 1/2 tanks through tl we bought on July 14 using premium fuel. averaging about 21 mpg (hand calculated). My wifes daily commute is about 50% highway and 50% city streets. Also the first tank had quite a few "fun" runs with me behind the wheel. The computer said 23 MPG, but it got zeroed out about 50 miles into the 1st tank, after I stopped driving it.

4700 miles on my TL-S - I just drove 640 miles up to Vermont and back - cruise was set at 70 MPH with A/C running - and averaged 30.4 miles per gallon   I am amazed.

Just over 16000 km (10,000 miles) on my 07 type s, it spends 70% of it's time doing 5 minute stop and go across town, the other 30% on 2 to 3 hour runs across the flat prairie at 110 km/h (65 mph). We get about 4 months of over 25C. about 5 months of 0 to 25C and the rest at -10 to -35C. Lifetime mpg imperial is 24 (29 US mpg). Pretty good considering my extreme climate and excessive town driving

Just bought TL 05 36k miles. Here's what i got, based on computer readings. City -> 18-20 MPG Highway w AC -> 30-31 75mph Highway w/o AC -> 30 80mph The car is real deal!!!!

Replying to: drmike (Jul 20, 2008 4:01 pm) As drmike says the trip computer is not reliable in calculating real mileage. I've had my 07 TL for 18 months and the trip computer typically reads 8-10% higher than actual mileage. To even out the tank to tank discrepancies I keep a running average of the last 4 tanks/trip computer readings. No one at the dealership or at Acura has been able to explain the poor accuracy.

Replying to: buyer777 (Aug 29, 2008 4:45 pm) Wow! When we did Boston to DC and back in April, my '05 TL with 4 passengers and a full trunk of luggage averaged 27+mpg. Probably 85% highway driving, including traffic jams in Jersey and around DC... IIRC, about 1100 miles total.
